Extending Fuser Life with Multiple Fusers
While the press is installed with only one type of fuser (standard type), the system is
able to detect three different fuser width settings. Discuss the usage of multiple fusers
with your Service Representative. Multiple fusers provide maximum print output for
longer periods of time and ensure image defects on output are avoided. Depending on
the types of jobs run and their frequency, you may want more than one fuser available,
such as the following for example:
• One fuser roll for narrower paper
• One fuser for wider paper
Preventing Fuser Damage
Refer to the following information for tips on preventing damage to the fuser:
• To reduce 11 in./279.4 mm lines and wear marks, you may require the use of two
fusers - one when running 8. 5x 11 in./A4 stock, and the other when running 12 x 18
in./304.8 x 457.2 mm or larger stock. This is especially true for the graphic arts people.
• Image quality defects such as marks or spots will occur every 110 mm/4.3 in. on the
prints if the fuser roll is damaged. Defects which occur every 98 mm/3.89 in. indicate
a damaged fuser belt.
Fuser Paper Width Information
The press is delivered and installed with a standard type fuser that accommodates all
paper width sizes. However, the press allows for the installation of other fuser assemblies
and paper width types for printing specific paper width ranges. When installing a new
fuser, the customer can indicate that the fuser be used for certain paper widths only.
Identifying the fuser width type is performed byconnecting the appropriate fuserjumpers
provided in the nationalization kit as well as attaching a colored fuser width clip.
To optimize your image quality, you can exchange the standard fuser with a maximum
of three different width fusers. Use the different jumper resistance connectors to identify
a specific fuser and match the fuser with the designated paper width NVM settings.
Also, a clip on the fuser front cover identifies the width of the fuser being used.
Note
Before using the new fuser, the system administratormust update the NVM width setting
values to match the specific width used for this fuser.
